Unless someone makes and sells an accessory I'm unaware of I gather the only option would be to use the built in flash to optically trigger an external flash unit in order to get a sufficient amount of light for most situations.

Advertisement Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Hi rbaron, Take a look here How To Use EVF + Flash on X 113?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
asiafish Posted November 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 18, 2015 No way to mount both. I will say that the built-in is great for daylight fill, and since the X has a leaf shutter, it will sync at any shutter speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert blu Posted November 19, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 19, 2015 I do not owna 113 but with my x1 with the OVF on the hot shoe I used a small external flash by Metzt (CS28) triggered but the internal flash of the camera. See post 3 here. You can bounce it on a wall, on the ceiling or where you prefer. I think it could be a good solution on the 113 as well. Small and not expensive, maybe with an e-bay search you can find one. I hope this halps. robertyou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, this could be what I am looking for, I've got some larger Metz and Canon flashes and some old optical slave triggers but limited testing so far shows I need to have the X 113 flash pointed almost straight at the optical slave triggers to get them to fire the flash they are attached to. I just took a quick look on eBay and saw several Metz CS34 flash units listed at good prices. Do you know if this is just a larger version of the CS28? I sure wish there was a way to use my Pocket Wizard wireless gear but nobody seems to put pc sockets on these cameras anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camera - Nissin SC-01+VF - cable to flash fitted to Off camera bracket.... Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Nissin SC-01 cable on the B&H site and I see it would work with an optical viewfinder but I can't tell if it would work with the Leica Electronic Viewfinder Part Number 020. Do you use the Leica EVF with this cable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
